And then...
As I left my house this morning for work, a raindrop or two hit my windshield. By the time I drive a 1/4 mile, I had to use the wipers. A mile into the drive, the downpour started...the thunder and lightning on either side of me. Another 1/4 mile and the hail began. As the hail was pelting poor Ovlov, I noticed a spider crawling on my left-hand window.
Luckily, I got to work safely, but it was one hell of a drive to work today. I tried to let the spider out of the car when I parked by unrolling the window a bit, but I accidentally crushed it to death when I put the window up too soon. I wish I'd brought a change of clothes to work...I'm soaked...and feel bad about killing an innocent spider.
